Not sure how this species is differentiated from Ventrix speciosa - may not be possible to distinguish from photo @Harrisi have you any tips?

Sorry Michael, have exhausted my (limited) resources on this puzzle. I would lean toward V. speciosa due to abdominal markings. There are a few local sightings of A. palabunda from some of the CNM members, maybe they dug deeper on the subject?
